The use of raster display systems with refresh memory and read–write color map tables for man–machine communication is described. Particular emphasis is given to the application of such systems in molecular physics. Simple shading algorithms for molecular modeling and methods for the display of surfaces are given as examples. Some aspects of future development are summarized.
